He can do with it as he please
And if things don't change soon, he will
Oh, man has invented his doom
First step was touching the moon
Now, there's a woman on my block
She just sits there as the night grows still
She says, who's gonna take away his license to kill?
Now, they take him and they teach him
And they groom him for life
And they set him on a path where he's bound to get ill
Then they bury him with stars, sell his body like they do used cars
Now, there's a woman on my block
She just sits there facing the hill
She says, who's gonna take away his license to kill?
Now, he's hell-bent for destruction, he's afraid and confused
And his brain has been mismanaged with great skill
All he believes are his eyes
And his eyes, they just tell him lies
But there's a woman on my block
Sitting there in a cold chill
She says, who's gonna take away his license to kill?
Ya may be a noisemaker, spirit maker
Heart breaker, back breaker, leave no stone unturned
May be an actor in a plot that might be all that you got
'Til your error you clearly learn
Now he worships at an altar of a stagnant pool
And when he sees his reflection, he's fulfilled
Oh, man is opposed to fair play
He wants it all and he wants it his way
Now, there's a woman on my block
She just sits there as the night grows still
She says, who's gonna take away his license to kill?
Man thinks 'cause he rules the earth He can do with it as he please And if things don't change soon, he will Oh, man has invented his doom First step was touching the moon Now, there's a woman on my block She just sits there as the night grows still She says, who's gonna take away his license to kill? Now, they take him and they teach him And they groom him for life And they set him on a path where he's bound to get ill Then they bury him with stars, sell his body like they do used cars Now, there's a woman on my block She just sits there facing the hill She says, who's gonna take away his license to kill? Now, he's hell-bent for destruction, he's afraid and confused And his brain has been mismanaged with great skill All he believes are his eyes And his eyes, they just tell him lies But there's a woman on my block Sitting there in a cold chill She says, who's gonna take away his license to kill? Ya may be a noisemaker, spirit maker Heart breaker, back breaker, leave no stone unturned May be an actor in a plot that might be all that you got 'Til your error you clearly learn Now he worships at an altar of a stagnant pool And when he sees his reflection, he's fulfilled Oh, man is opposed to fair play He wants it all and he wants it his way Now, there's a woman on my block She just sits there as the night grows still She says, who's gonna take away his license to kill?
